Hello,
I sent the below email already a while ago, but didn't receive any answer.

Can someone tell me what's wrong? Did I miss some important point of
netiquette, or FAQ to read before asking stupid questions?

Thanks, Eric

Hi,
our package msv-xsdlib [1] has been refused even from non-free due to
license issues. Hence I've contacted the upstream developer (from Sun) and
got the answer below.
As I understand from different discussions that the CDDL license in
critical in regard to "freeness", I have some questions:
1. will a CDDL license allow us to put the package at least into non-free?
2. will a CDDL license allow us to put the package into main/contrib?
3. if answers to 1 and 2 are negative, any idea what might be an alternative?
Background of question 3 is that someone on the list might have an idea
which other license could be acceptable to Sun (and I might suggest it to
the developer).
Any other inputs/recommendations are of course welcome in these difficult
times!
Thanks a lot,
Eric
